Riana Second | Warrior Riana is a key member of the clan, serving as its second in command, as well as warrior. She is very no-nonsense, quite similar to Monochrome, but not as interested in technology and science. In fact, she takes little interest in the machinery and experiments which are a key part of the clan and its mission. Riana much prefers the open air and foliage that above-ground brings, fighting foes from the training fields to the mire. She is very strategic, putting an emphasis on blending in with her environment and sneaking up on enemies by using her surroundings. Although adept at navigating her surroundings, Riana is not the most graceful dragon, taking wide, sweeping movements, similar to the cleaver that she carries as a weapon, to fight. Riana values trust, as well as the idea that everyone should pull their weight. Seeing these traits, it’s strange that she manages to put up with FlameCatcher, another prominent warrior in the clan who is quick to action, eager to boast, and only seems to want treasure and wealth. Riana can hardly put up with her, but has to admit that she is a skilled fighter, and valuable member of the clan.

Riana whisked through the forest, winding her way silently through the trees like a snake. Her companions followed quickly behind, Monochrome, a wildclaw who concentrated on her surroundings, and FlameCatcher, who gracefully moved through the foliage in frivolous dance-like movements.

Riana stopped, seeing a group of creatures ahead. Monochrome came behind her, whispering. "We'll need to wrap around in order to get upwind." Riana silently nodded, but before she could move FlameCatcher burst through the row of bushes that had concealed them. "There's no need for strategy!" she chimed as she flew to face the creatures that they had intended to surprise. "We'll line our hoard with their treasure!"

"FlameCatcher!" Monochrome screeched angrily. "You can't fight them all!" The creatures approached FlameCatcher, baring their teeth. One swiped its jaws at her head, but missed, as FlameCatcher dodged to the side. A second creature met her, and knocked her onto her side. "Not fair!" FlameCatcher shouted insistently.

Monochrome rose from her and Riana's hiding place, meeting a third creature with a swipe of her claws. Riana moaned, seeing FlameCatcher facing two animals alone. "I don't get why I put up with you," she mumbled, unsheathing her cleaver-like sword. She easily hoisted herself over the line of foliage with a beat of her wings, contouring mid flight to meet the first animal as it opened its mouth in a threatening screech.
